How could you NOT like this album? "Sgt Pepper" Movie Soundtrack!


Come on! This epitomized the glitz and glamor of the late 70's, marrying Peter Frampton's overproduced rock with the Bee Gee's overproduced Disco!

Add to it Alice Cooper doing the snarkiest Beatles cover in history, and a smorgasbord of 70's pop stars...and you've got a masterpiece!

1. Ok, I got it on pink vinyl
The best thing about it was Alice Cooper....

and Maxwell's Silver Hammer.


Hey, folks, Taverner's being snarky... let's be mean to him :)


Khash.

2. No love for Earth Wind and Fire?
C'mon - you have to view this album and soundrack with the same frame of mind that you would watching Sid and Marty Krofft shows...

6. Nope, no love
Last time I went to an Earth Wind and Fire concert - no smoke, no coke. WTF?

As for the Krofft brothers, their shows work best when you are either 5 years old or totally fucked up.

Not that I have ever been stoned. Of course not!

Khash.

4. You're forgetting the innovative wireless electric guitar...
...which allowed the guitarist to perform while doing trampoline acrobatics.

12. At the time, Deborah Harry wisecracked
that this was the first album ever to ship gold and be returned platinum. At least this fiasco killed off Robert Stigwood as an "entertainment" mogul.

13. Amazingly, Barry Gibb's cover of 'A Day in the Life' was better than orig.
I'm surprised to see me saying this, but I do prefer the BeeGees' arrangement on a number of Fab Four songs. They just have better voices and I'm a sucker for good harmonics.
